MAX

Overview

Description

Returns the maximum of matching values from two Nodes. Both nodes have to have either the same dimensionality, resulting in a Node with the same dimensionality, or one input needs to be a number, in which case the result has the dimensionality of the other Node.

Use when you need the row-wise maximum of two nodes or of a node and a fixed numeric threshold.

Syntax

MAX('Node1', 'Node2')

Parameter

Node: Input node, specified using the node name in single quotes (e.g. 'Profit')

Examples

Row-wise maximum across two inputs

This example shows MAX applied both to two input nodes and to a node combined with a fixed numeric threshold.

Input node: A

Year	Value
2025	32
2026	-42
2027	-17

Input node: B

Year	Value
2025	41
2026	12
2027	-25

Formula: MAX('A', 'B')

Year	→ MAX Result
2025	41
2026	12
2027	-17

Formula: MAX('A', 7)

Year	→ MAX Result
2025	32
2026	7
2027	7
